The Whole Lesbian Sex Book and "sleepless nights" in Arkansas
I thought you might be interested in this story about a library
controversy in Arkansas. Seems a father is threatening to sue the city of Bentonville, Arkansas, after his two sons, aged 14 and 16, found The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman on a library shelf while (allegedly) looking for books on military academies. The father's complaint: "[They were] greatly disturbed. [We had] many sleepless nights in our house."
I'll bet.
He's saying those sleepless nights are worth $20,000. That's how much he's wants from the city of Bentonville. And he wants the book removed from the library.
Library Journal, which the Bentonville library uses to select materials, characterizes The Whole Lesbian Sex Book as "suitable for all public libraries."
Here's the story:

Wow,
that is a very interesting piece of information. To sue over "sleepless nights". Now that really takes some gumption.

and I am sure that a 14 and 16 year old have come across lesbianism long before "accidently" stumbling across this book while searching for "military academia"
LOL

You know what is strange. Bentonville AR is the corporate home of Walmart, the largest corporation in America, an exploiter of morals, a corrupt workplace, the worst employer in the country.....and this guy is losing sleep over a book about lesbians??
